The Simplicity of Change

Change -- even change for the better -- is often accompanied by feelings of uncertainty, fear and loss. It is only through change that we can become everything we were meant to become. So why do we actively resist it?

Some parents say they don't want their children to ever grow up. They'd like to freeze time exactly where it is. While love is the apparent sentiment behind such thoughts, the reality is that children thrive on growth.

Nature shows us the wonders that can come from change. Seasons come and go, each in its time. Stars fall from the sky and new ones appear. Forest fires make way for new growth.

Even change for the worse can lead to good things, like understanding and compassion.

Being in transition can make us feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. We may not feel like we fit in, because we have outgrown our old life but have not yet fully stepped into the new.

As you learn to rise with the tide and dance with the wind, soaking in the beauty that comes only through change, you will see that everything is falling perfectly into place.

Surrender to the process of change.
